Welcome to Homeschool Conversations with Humility and Doxology

Come chat with us! Join me in a series of Homeschool Conversations: interviews with real-life homeschool moms, dads, and other educators on all sorts of topics that affect our lives as homeschool parents. We’ll discuss educational philosophy, family life, and more! I'm Amy Sloan, a 2nd-generation homeschool mom of 5, and I am so glad you're here. Head to https://humilityanddoxology.com/homeschool-conversations/ where you'll find show notes for every episode. And please subscribe so you don't miss a single interview. Season 1 was (up until now) exclusively on video, but as Season 2 approaches we are bringing the homeschool fun to your podcast feed! Be on the lookout for new fabulous homeschool encouragement and practical tips each week for Season 2 here in your earbuds. Plus, I'll be sharing some of my favorite moments from Season 1 in the feed as well! Follow Humility and Doxology on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. And sign up for my email list for subscriber exclusives and behind the scenes updates! Over the past few years, two words have gradually come to summarize my philosophy as a wife, mom, friend, home educator, and individual: Humility and Doxology. I believe the best education is the one that leads to a humble view of one’s self and a glorified view of the beauty of God.  I believe that faithful consistency and wonder-filled exploration are not mutually exclusive.  I believe that relationships are more important than checklists, and that beautiful words are more valuable to memorize than inventories of facts. I am convinced that Gospel truth alone saves us from endlessly striving and the fear, worry, and anxiety of wondering if we (and our homeschools) are enough. If you’re tired of desperately trying to do enough… If you’re looking for joy and peace in your educational pursuits… If you think classical education and delight-directed learning aren’t mutually exclusive… If you believe memory work is valuable, but lists of facts seem boring… If you want a true, good, and beautiful education, but don’t want to squeeze into a one-size-fits-all model or externally-imposed schedule… …then join me on this journey. Let us repent of our constant striving. Let us relish the joy of learning. Let us rest in the work of Christ on our behalf. Join me as we delve into the profound, the silly, the intriguing, the challenging, and the practical.  Here you’ll find ideas for educating your children, whether you do this at home or in a more traditional environment.  Here you’ll find tidbits for personal growth and personal entertainment and fun, because Moms-Are-People-Too.  And, of course, you will definitely find lists and lists of good books! Let’s adventure together!
